Topic49: Claim: we can usually learn much more from people whose views we share than from those views contradict our own.

How do people acquire more information during conversations? Does a piece of information weights more to someone unknown or someone already knew? From my perspective, my answers to these questions are, we attain much more information from people who share the same interest with me, but no need to have the same opinions with me.

Firstly, similar interests help to build up the common ground for developing conversations. Gossip, for instance, is the most attracting interest among many girls, who always enjoy their time when they meet together, sharing, laughing and digging up the news or funny stories that happened to celebrates or their colleagues recently. And it is quite hard to deny that they have exchanged a lot of information based on that common interest. Besides that, get more information from the people who has a similar thought happens not only in daily life, but also in office. I remember once an elder man told me:" when you are employed in a new firm, you are in their territory, try to speak their language." Managers in big company must have a more fluent talk with another firm partners than philosophers, and musicians will have more listeners when he speaks in Broadway instead of Wall street. Apparently, it is true that people who speak jargon exchange more data in both quality and quantity than outside eyes.

Although making conversations with people who share common interest is easier, arguing with those who possess different thoughts may be more interesting and challenging. Just like readers who remember John Stuart Mill's classic exploration of the liberty of thought and discussion concerns the danger of complacency: in the absence of challenging, one's opinion, even when they are correct, grow weak and flabby. In addition, since one's opinions, even under the best circumstances, tend to embrace only a portion of truth, and opinions opposed to one's rarely turn out to be completely erroneous, it is crucial to supplement one's opinions with alternative points of view. And sometimes, with fortune, opposed ideas with different aspects may spur unimagined inspirations occasionally.

To sum it up, agreement or the opposed side, sometimes, only plays the ending part of conversations, but not justify its progress. Once a conversation started, with information flowing, like capital markets, everybody get the benefits from the progress.

对了，再提问一下，这样写算跑题么？
还有，那个John Stuart Mill 的例子是我从GRE填空里借用的，会算抄袭么？

好的，我错了，马上转。

my answers to these questions are这句是废话，不必加进去。
我觉得你没有按照instruction去写，或者说你写偏了，题目是个比较类型的题，所以你的重心应当是怎么去比较，而不是自己另辟他径

多谢版主意见。
那如果我在2、3段中间加一个写contradict带来的缺点，然后将原来的第3段改成一个balance，是不是就应该不偏了？
